Just got served in the $SAVA Cassava v Bredt lawsuit while at my poster discussing Simufilam science and binding at the

conference.

"Because the Court finds that the majority of the defendants’ statements were protected under the First Amendment as statements of opinion or scientific debate, and that the fraction of statements that were adequately alleged to be defamatory were not published with actual
Cassava Sciences is a shambolic scientific charade.
We have assessed virtually every aspect of Cassava's programs, & reveal a pattern of deliberate, coordinated misconduct.

agree in theory, but "quickly" is something like 60-90 days, and the original vaccines still do very well and provide a huge boost.. not worth waiting
So, where is the prolific editor at 71.41.248.226 doing her editing from?
..direct from the Cassava Sciences offices.
So now you know how the $SAVA VP of Neuroscience spends her days.
@jeremyfaust
The REGN abs have very good rationale, no safety issues so far, and in some cases (ie. if he's not mounting a good response himself) could help a lot. Too late to use as prophylaxis, but little harm in trying.
It's in poor taste for him to get special treatment, but so it goes
Guys, instead of only doing this jihad only against plagiarism by a bunch of mostly irrelevant social science elites, could we also go after scientific misconduct and pseudo-research that actually costs the government (and investors) millions?

There are starting to be way too many people inside bars like it’s 2019.. can’t we all just wait another couple of months so that we can enjoy the summer?
BOOM!
This paper was Wang's original sin underlying ALL of the $SAVA nonsense -- the claim that Naloxone binds to Filamin-A. It is bogus, and now retracted.
IT IS ALL MADE UP. THEIR DRUG DOES NOT BIND A TARGET AND COULD NOT HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED AS DESCRIBED IN THEIR PATENTS.
Check out our poster at

presenting our analysis of the science behind Simufilam, and our attempts to experimentally test the binding of Naloxone and Simufilam to their purported pentapeptide target. $SAVA

I have a joke about problems with comparing complicated distributions using just a summary statistic, but it’s a little too mean.
Imagine if 60 Minutes actually used their still-formidable platform to ask hard-hitting questions and speak truth to power, rather than doing photo ops with audio and impotent philosophizing.
Cassava Sciences has two products in development: Simufilam, & SavaDx, a proprietary diagnostic for Alzheimer’s.
According to $SAVA 10K, SavaDx is NOT protected by patents, so actual molecules measured by SavaDx have been a key, closely guarded trade secret.
Until today.. 🧵
Another editorial retraction for Dr.Hoau-Yan Wang, from a collaboration with Servier. (and even

It is all made up.

$ARKK is just a bucket of high growth names, and they've actually made some interesting and good picks. Yeah $TSLA is sketch but it's done very well. Beta gonna beta, it might well go down, but there's no conspiracy and no systemic issue and get over it already.

@StevenSalzberg1
Especially since the vaccines that will be available first are using new technologies where it is harder to predict or rule out potential risks.
Here's a little tip for biotech frauds trying to obscure information about what proteins you actually measure to make your wacky, miraculously accurate Alzheimer's diagnostic more inscrutable: the labels are still there in the PDF even if you make the text white.

As a former short-seller, how can he believe that it is acceptable to dox, insult, and disparage anyone who disagrees with him about a stock, including former employees? And why does he think it is OK to exaggerate and lie about public companies in which he holds positions?
Downtown San Francisco after 8pm doesn’t quite feel dangerous (like Baltimore dangerous) but it sure does feel like you are inside a post-apocalyptic video game
Within the last few days, Cassava Sciences $SAVA have deleted their Scientific Advisory Board link from their homepage... (the page is still there if you have the URL: )

The $SAVA story is just getting started. All the enablers, all the adults who haven’t been doing their jobs, all those assisting in the attempted cover-ups need to come clean..
Some great new analysis on PubPeer pointing out and quantifying the latest $SAVA lies and fabrications that were already plain to see for anyone who just looked.
@apoorva_nyc
It's very interesting and compelling, but I don't think anything is "very clear" until someone is able to do surveillance and testing on some real random samples
There are many crazy things in the FDA 483 report from their inspection of CUNY and Dr. Wang, but this tops them all.. Wang no longer has Photoshop because the Department of Justice seized his computer.

$SAVA motion to dismiss the Tx securities lawsuit against them was DENIED

$SAVA
In Wang, 2012 (J Neurosci), Dr. Wang reports using two α7 nAChR antibodies in the Methods: SC-5544, & SC-65844.
This is another impressive feat by Wang, because SC-65844 is an antibody to **α1** nAChR

When you are running a fraud, one of the most important things is to have a strong astroturfing game. You need to make sure that your narrative is the dominant one, and you must try to discredit your detractors whenever possible. $SAVA
The Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating Cassava Sciences, people familiar with the matter say. The company’s experimental Alzheimer’s drug has enthralled investors and raised questions about the research backing it up. via
@WSJ
So Dr. Chuck Spruck, the western blot "expert" that $SAVA likes to rely on for support and astroturfing, really does seem to have experience with western blot duplication himself..

I can think of only two reasons to put a senior ex-FBI official on your board of directors while under DOJ investigation, and neither of them are very confidence-inspiring.
it's weird how $SAVA has suddenly become SO insistent that all the biomarkers they ever ran or are running were "research use only" "non-safety related" and "exploratory" -- despite being used to screen & qualify patients for inclusion in clinical trials (& used as 1e endpoints)
YBS disclosed its side of manufacturing agreement with $ENVX
They DO NOT disclose actually having secured $70m loan they need
This makes $ENVX press release claims of having secured $70m in financing inaccurate, IMO, because YBS doesn’t yet have it
This is curious..
just a few weeks ago, Dr. Hoau-Yan Wang was scheduled to teach a grad Neuropharmacology course at CUNY City College.
Now, the listing has disappeared & there's no Spring 22 neuropharmacology
